Cakes:\r
\r
I use 4 inch cakes to make the miniature cakes. In this tutorial I used a 5 inch cake board. I buy these from my local cake decorating supply store. Hobby and craft stores generally stock them as well.\r
\r
\r
\r
\r
I bake all my cakes in 3 inch tall cake tins. Covering the top of the cake pan with aluminium foil when baking gives the cake extra height, causes less doming and so results in a much taller cake :) true story.\r
\r
In these video tutorials, I normally use Bakels Premixes to save on time.\r
(Bakels is a bakery grade cake premix. Another great one is Allied Mills)\r
\r
If you prefer to bake from scratch, I do have a range of awesome cake recipes here which convert to cupcake recipes very nicely too.\r

I use these butter based cakes above because they are sturdy under fondant and stable at room temperature, as are the muds.\r
